Invitation to Girls Night Out!

I am participating in a 'Girl's Night Out' event where a handful of women's businesses are gathering to promote their gigs, shop, hang out and shop some more!

This is being held at a home decor store which is called
Real Deals (Kathy - the owner - has great home accessories at AMAZING prices...)  The invite is below - there are links to all of the businesses that are going to be there.  Please come for the food, drinks and fun!   Also, please pass this on to other women in your life who would be interested in coming - the more the merrier!

Please call or email if you have questions about directions.  The store is located at approximately I-25 and 8th Ave - just behind the Dazbog Coffee headquarters.

A pledge to go a year without buying anything new

There was a story this morning on NPR about the Compact - - a growing social movement in which members vow to buy nothing new for a year. Here is a link to a related article. This would be very difficult for a lot of people, myself included.

I think it would be a great challenge though. We have been making great strides in trimming the fat from our daily lives, i.e. clipping more coupons, cooking many more dinners at home, attending free cultural events, going to the library more... I feel like we could be doing much more though to get back to the 'basics'.
